· What inspired you to become an actress?

Growing up, I remember watching TV thinking: “That looks like so much fun and cool, and I can do that!” So, I’d have to say it was the idea of pretending to be someone else. I would perform different voices for my family.

· Who are your acting inspirations?

Zendaya for sure 100%! I love everything about her.

· What is your favorite thing about acting?

Being on sets where I get to meet different people because everyone has been so nice. Also…CRAFT SERVICES is like heaven.

· What was your first acting job?

I played a younger version of one of the doctors at the Detroit Medical Center. I was 6 years old. The DMC commercial was my first thing I auditioned for too. LOL

· What is your favorite project you have ever done?

Playing the “Grilled Cheese Girl” for the ABC Special because I was able to meet and spend the day with Alfonso Ribeiro who played my dad. He is so funny and made the day amazing. It was a funny skit created by Ryan Reynolds who is so funny, and you can find it on YouTube.

· What are some qualities you look for in a project?

I like scripts that are exciting when I read them. If a part of fun to read, then I know the day on the set will also be fun. I’ve done a lot of commercials, which is fine, but I’m hoping for more TV & movie auditions.

· Which character that you have played so far has been the most similar to you?

I got a chance to audition for a new part in the Disney show Raven’s Home. She reminded me of how confident, a little sassy, and sort of manipulative I can be sometimes. In a good way, nothing bad. LOL

· How would you describe yourself in three words?

Kind, Smart, and Hilarious

· What are your social media handles?

My Instagram is @irelandlilyb, and my website is www.irelandbriody.com

· Where do you see yourself in ten years?

I’d still want to be acting. But I want to also be a fashion designer. So, in 10 years I want my own clothing line. My acting might help me get there.

· What are three qualities every actor should have?

Patience is #1, because you sometimes must wait around set for hours while they get set up. The ability to follow the Directors instructions and do the take exactly how they tell you. I think (in my opinion) it helps to have a big memorable personality, because casting directors see so many other tapes.

· Do you have any advice for an aspiring actor?

It’s not an easy business, if you’re someone who gives up easily. I think working hard with an acting coach really helps. Audition as much as you can, because it helps you learn…but don’t expect to get a lot of bookings. Don’t give up!

· What's next for you?

Coming up I have an audition where I must do Yoga poses, which is cool because I love doing Yoga with my mom. Oh! and Saturday, I’m going to Disneyland for my friend’s birthday!
